| |  Applying for Dependent Pass
Hi all,
I'm just wondering how long does it take for a dependent pass to be processed and issued? When I applied for my employment pass, dependent pass holders were not allowed to work and therefore I did not ask my employer to apply a dependent pass for my husband. However, now that the rules have changed, I'm thinking of applying one for him, just in case, he decides to come over to HK to work.
On another note, what is the employment market like at the moment? My husband is the area of sales in the telecom industry in Spore. He is a channel sales manager dealing with prepaid cards. Would he have difficulties getting a job?
Thanks! | |

| | | 2 weeks, that's not too bad. At least it's shorter than waiting for my employment visa. | |

It's a very cut-throat bit of the business. | |

How long does it takes to approve your employment visa? | |

Hope yours come in real fast | I have to start working in time for the fall semester so the university i'm working at was able to get it within about two weeks (it should be in the mail to me right now hopefully!) their literature said it is supposed to take at least 6. | | Tools | Search | | | | | Rate This Thread | | | All times are GMT +8.
